Most likely to be placebo.


I would tend to agree.


Actually I take that back after delving into it a little further.
Seems there is a point under and just up from the wrist a bit.
Would still need to wad up the paper and get it just right.

Chemists sell something similar to this. Normally a piece of elastic with a plastic ball that is to sit on a specific point (from memory two finger widths from your wrist). You have to have one on each arm for them to work. One of my mates swears by them for flights and boating.

Unlike sea sickness tablets these are non-drowsy so safe if you intend on driving

put either an ear plug, or a crunched up bit of paper towel or similar in your ear opposite your main hand (if you are right handed, put it in your left ear, or vice cersa) Eat ginger nuts, and wear a anti motion sickness wrist band.

I love fishing, but i hate a lumpy sea, somedays, doesn't seem what you do, you are just destined to feel yuck. otherdays it can be lumpy and ya feel good as all day.
